Russell Morris - Sharkmouth (2012) - Flac,cue

======================================

Sharkmouth is the latest album from one of this country's greatest and most respected singer/songwriters, Russell Morris.
The project was created after Russell had read about a 1920's Gangster from Sydney, Shark Jaws. This was the
driving force behind a want to create an album including Australian characters from the 1920/30's era.
As producer (and bass player), Mitch Cairns, explains: "To our knowledge, most "Australiana" characters have been
portrayed in a traditional colonial folk sense, so we wanted to find a way to deliver the stories in a more mainstream
vein whilst still placing them in a "vintage era". A blues style seemed to be the perfect fit!! We tried to keep the
vibe of the album raw and honest with lots of textural instruments and sounds, but above all, it had to be simple and
spacious. We are also very honoured to have some very special guests on the album, including Troy Cassar-Daley, Mark
Lizotte and Renee Geyer."
The album has stories about Australian characters such as champion racehorse Phar Lap ("Big Red"), boxing legend
Les Darcy, The Dock Wars ("Bout To Break"), The Great Depression ("Big House") and gangster Squizzy Taylor which
are all moulded together in a melting pot of swinging shuffles and delta grooves!
